Correct me if I’m wrong here....
- I capped the valley.
- 1 of the hoses is connected from intake to catch can.
- other jose is from catch can to oil fill tube....

Once my centrist is connected, will I have to change anything with how the hoses are routed?

Instead of the pcv exit(vacuum) port on the can going to intake, it should be going behind the throttle body. Other line is correct (from oil fill to an fitting on can). Then you need a fresh air line from drivers side rear valve cover to intake tube(between tb+maf. Cap off other ports(valve cover and valley).

Oops... meant intake manifold*** instead of the intake. How bout when my ECS is installed? I looked at a bunch of pics, and threads and none of them have a clear line is site for plumbing...

The only thing you need when you add boost is the check valve. Did it not come with a check valve?

Keep in mind this setup is just for releasing crankcase pressure. It's not meant for collecting oil. This is the same setup I'm going to run. -12

No check valve. Just the hoses, fittings, 2 caps. Checked everything was accounted for, and it was.

You'll probably get one with the ECS, however I dont know if you'll need it.

To be honest, I havent thought out my PCV solution yet. Leaning towards the MM Wild since its aimed at just saving the motor from pcv pressures.

Agreed, I did not like the mounting bracket single point of contact so I ended up ordering the MM block mount. Much better option.

I don’t know if the tuner kit will come with anything Pcv. I’m sure I’m going to add my current catch can to the setup also. May be redundant, but oh well. What’s weird is when I swapped out my old catch can and emptied it, it didn’t really have that much oil on the can. It looked like it was just water. Only clocked in 5k miles in the past 12ish months.

Dropping the car off tomorrow.... FINALLY!!!! Can’t wait til it’s done. Slapping on some new tires on there too, as well as an alignment. I doubt they’ll hook, but it’s better than breaking an axle.

Great start on your build. Looking forward to hearing about your results....

Too late now but I mighta tried to talk you into twins as well.... I’m biased that way....

Thanks. I would’ve needed more parts for that, and would’ve tipped the budget scale (already over budget)

Not having the car mixed with this build and being in quarantine is NOT GOOD. Been researching some splitters and side skirts, and all I have to say is Damn. Selection is limited, and the companies that do have the product, sucks at communication.

Anywho purchased some ZL1 addon front splitter, and ventus autoworks side skirts for my ZL1 rockers. All in all about 430$ with some splitter rods. Not too bad consider other places would charge 400$ just for a front splitter and 200-400$ for side splitters (cough cough ASC).....


What else should I buy..?

[eLeSthree]

A clutch.

I knowww.... still can’t decide on which 1. Might not even need it since I’m not going to launch the car.

Got my baseline in... Juiced said 439rwhp.. Kinda low for the mods that I have in the car. I didn’t get dyno numbers after the cam build since the shop was having issues. Juiced said the tune was “soft” and could’ve done some tweaks to get more for sure.

I guess it’s just numbers right.
